  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Romania continues to be one of the European Union’s (EU) most progressive member states regarding agricultural biotechnology. Although no biotech crops were grown in 2018, Romanian farmers continue to support modern technologies. The Government of Romania (GOR) permits biotech field trials, but current research is limited to genetically engineered (GE) plum trees. The Biosafety Commission (BSC) issued two positive opinions on the notifications aiming to test GE-microorganisms and GE-pharmaceuticals. Post suggests that the following report be read in conjunction with the EU-28 Agricultural Biotechnology Annual
